Description

The Monte Rosa massif in the Swiss Alps has an incredible collection of peaks. And for 6 days, I would like to guide you to no less than 13 incredible summits. Each summit offers its own experience and set of views of the Alps. Moreover, all of these summits are part of the 82, 4000 meter plus summits in the Alps.

Beginning in Zermatt, our expedition will begin. Every day will see you venturing to different summits. The list of summits you will get to visit during this trip include Northrend (4609m), the Zumstein peak (4563m), the Signal group (4553m), the Liskamm east summit (4533m) and west summit (4479m). You will also climb to the summit of Castor (4223m), the Breithorn West summit (4164m) and Central Summit (4156m), the Western Breithorn twin (4139m), the Eastern Breithorn twin (4106m), Pollux (4092m), the Roccia Nera (4075m) and Dufourspitze (4,634m).

Along with the long list of summits you will get to climb to, you will also be staying in different mountains huts as well, including the highest mountain hut in the Alps: the famous Margherita hut (4,559m). All of the huts offer a comfortable place to rest and relax, and also will give you even more great views of the Monte Rosa massif and the Alps.

We will be exploring the quiet side of the Monte Rosa massif during this trip. However, despite the lack of crowds, the climbs are still challenging. As a result you should have prior climbing experience. And because we will be climbing for approximately 8 hours a day, ascending approximately 1,400 meters per day, you should also be in good physical condition.

If you would like to explore the amazing Monte Rosa massif, this is the trip for you. To join me on this 1:1 adventure, just send me a request.

I also offer a 5 day trip in Valais where you can climb 3 summits: Weisshorn, Dent Blanche and Bishorn.

Mauvais communication concernant le moment demandé, rien de grave mais cela a changé notre programme en dernière la minute. A part ça, contact rapide et réactif.
